Anyone?

So far, this has happened for every (24-bit) show I've uploaded that has been encoded with the latest FLAC version. It's getting annoying.

Thanks.

When this was brought up before, here's what the engineers said / did:

"Ok, I have just compiled 1.1.4, latest tarball from sourceforge.

brak@ia340914:/2/items/rrfb2007-05-10$ ~/src/flac-1.1.4/src/flac/flac -v

Got this error:

Which matches the error we are getting with the version in

So not sure what to tell you. Are you absolutely sure there isn't something on your end?

this also beggs the question: why don't you just use the older version of flac?

Forum: etree Subject: Re: False MD5 Failures - New FLAC version cause?

well, i'm using FLAC 1.2.1; LMA is using 1.1.2, so i guess it's a compatibility issue, since the middle number changed.

i didn't think/know i was doing anything wrong by using the latest version of FLAC. i heard a new version was released, and i like to keep things current, so i grabbed it.

i'm perfectly fine with going back to a previous version if my FLACs aren't going to be accepted by the LMA. however, i've uploaded 3-4 24-bit shows with the new version (note that my 16-bit shows with the new version have been fine), and it will be an enormous waste of time if i need to reencode and reupload them.

so, can these shows be manually approved by someone, since they did not, in fact, actually fail any MD5 check?

" i've uploaded 3-4 24-bit shows with the new version (note that my 16-bit shows with the new version have been fine)"

this might be a key piece of info. I thought that it was 16 bits that were failing with the new flac. good to know. might make the problem easier to solve

yes, please post direct links to the failed 24 bit shows and we should be able to manually override the failure item.

thanks tyler.

here are the shows in question:

http://www.archive.org/details/breakfast2007-09-20.483.flac24
http://www.archive.org/details/breakfast2007-09-23.414.flac24

if you could manually approve those, that would be great. i'll go back to the old FLAC for now.

thanks!

it seems like these shows were available for a short time today, but then became unavailable again, and i got another round of "MD5 Failure" emails.

any update?

Tyler, is there any update on this? The shows still haven't been approved, and I got another batch of emails this morning about the failures.

The other batch of e-mails occurred because I re-ran all the failed md5 lines currently on the LMA (including yours) this 're-sends' the e-mails out to people who have bad shows to hopefully kick them in the pants to fix the missing track / missing .txt file / etc.

This does not apply to you. I've ping'd the engineers, but as of now, no reply. They must be busy with other stuff, but as soon as they get to it, i'll let you know. unfortunately it is out of mine and the other 'normal' admins's hands.

If you are really antsy, I would say though that the probable speedier solution is to just encode the show using the old flac version 24-bit and 'checkout' the show, delete the files online and then upload the new files and then checkin the show.

I would say to please just hang tight, since having the shows up provides a valuable insight to the engineers to the specific failure problems that the new flac version has with our system. Hopefully they get to it this week. hold tight. :)

I searched the forums and didn't see any updates on this.

Does anyone know what the status of this is? I recently updated to 1.2.1 (forgetting about this problem), but before I start uploading any 24-bit stuff, I wanted to check if this has been fixed.

Thanks.

I got the same problem report some weeks ago, and now again today. It hasn't been fixed, apparently. When receiving the first automated report, I replied to them that they should update the flac version, but got no response.

It's been a few months since we last brought up this issue, but I thought I'd do it again since I just uploaded some 24-bit FLACs and had the MD5 failure error.

I'm ignoring it, and it seems that the files (at least for now) remain live. I guess I'll see what happens.

I'm also seeing this, with 1.2.1 flac24 encodes.

Here's the one I'm getting md5 errors with:

As with others, I really don't want to download, re-encode and re-upload these with an older version of flac.
